T/F: Horses don’t have a nasal planum
TRUE
What is the nasal diverticulum in horses?
a blind sac with great capacity for expansion between alar cartilage and nasoincisive notch
What is this person’s finger entering?
nasal diverticulum
T/F: Cows have a nasolabial plane
TRUE
What are the boundaries of the nasal cavity - rostral and caudal?
rostral: nostrils
caudal: choanae
How is the nasal cavity divided?
medially by the nasal septum (bone caudally and cartilage rostrally)
What is the nasal vestibule?
a pigmented surface between the skin and mucosa
Where does the nasolacrimal duct flow into?
flows into the vestibule near the mucocutaneous junction
What keeps the humidity of the nose?
nasal glands
lacrimal glands
What is this?
muco-cutaneous junction
What is this structure?
nasolacrimal duct
What are nasal conchae?
correspond to papyraceous bones that continue from the ethmoid bone (ethmoid labyrinth)
What do ethmoidal conchae correspond to?
endo and ectoturbinates
What do dorsal nasal concha correspond to?
endoturbinate I - goes into nasal cavity
What bone does the ventral nasal concha correspond to?
facial bone
The alar fold is the terminal part of what?
ventral conchae
What bone does the middle nasal concha correspond to?
endoturbinate II
